This team is led by these acting professional guild presidents. . And Lionheart King Raul directly gave them 100 Royal Guards knights in golden armor and 200 Royal Guards knights in black armor. . and 500 white-armored knights of the Royal Guard. . This is almost half of the troops that Raul, the Lionheart King, can now mobilize. . .
Captain Lancer led 50 white-armored knights of the Royal Guard. . and President Ayres. . Speeding towards the Black Cliff checkpoint on the northern border. . .
Along the way, they also saw the atrocities committed by the undead. . .
There was a time before there were no beheading teams. . There are many experts in the undead tribe. . They command these undead clans to march straight in. . . They discovered that the Holy Light Empire could not completely protect its entire border. . So now they are going to take advantage of this loophole. . .
At the same time, the schedules of the undead and humans are completely opposite. . They are afraid of sunlight. . . I don’t like daytime either. . . What they like most is night. . So they stay up during the day and come out at night. . .
This also gave many undead troops an opportunity to take advantage of them. . Entered the hinterland of the Holy Light Empire. . .
The cities and towns within the Holy Light Empire are dotted all over. . huge amount of. . Not to mention the villages. . . It's like a piece of cake. . .
Usually there are several small towns surrounding a big city. . Below these small cities are some towns. . Below these towns. . Only then will they govern those villages. . .
And regular garrison. . They are only stationed in big cities and some small towns. . .
Start in town. . . Are they all local militiamen? . . Normally, these cities would send some regular troops to these villages and towns to station and train them. . . to enhance their combat effectiveness. .
If something big happens. . For example, robbers, bandits and the like. . Troops are dispatched from the cities under their jurisdiction to clear the collection. . .
So this Holy Light Empire except for those big cities and some small towns with complete facilities. . The reaction of the rest of the troops was relatively lagging. . .
In addition, the undead tribe hides day and night. . At first many villages had no idea what was happening. . Everything is still normal during the day. . Some people work in the fields, some go and do business, some hawk on the street, and some play. . .
As a result, it's night. . These undead clan suddenly came out from all directions. . . Take advantage of the night. . Attack them unprepared. . .
At that time, even some small cities were captured by the undead. . Not to mention these villages and towns. . The casualties at that time were quite heavy. .
And the methods of the undead are extremely cruel. . Everywhere they go. . There is almost no life in sight. . And those killed by them, livestock, and even rats. . There are no complete bodies. .
Or be chopped into countless pieces. . Or it will be torn into countless pieces. . Even being directly crushed into mud. .
Broken limbs and broken arms are everywhere. . . Far away. . You will smell the smell of blood and corpse odor. .
That's why Raul, the Lion-Hearted King, gave the order later. . Let all the big cities be opened. . Let these troops go to the surrounding villages and towns during the day to take the frightened and almost defenseless people back to the big city to save their lives. .
Now they passed some villages. . . It's daytime now. . Originally, these villages should be bustling with people coming and going. . .
But now they have become deserted villages. . Numerous bones. . The houses are dilapidated. . . Overgrown. . Some wild beasts have taken this place as their own territory. .
A gust of wind blew. . Make some old wooden doors creak. . It seemed particularly desolate. . .
The cultivated land outside the village has also been abandoned. . Because no one paid attention. . The crops that were once grown have died. . On the contrary, the weeds grew particularly well. . .
If it's just one or two villages, that's it. . .
The result is this. . There are dozens of villages and towns. . Already abandoned. . This is just one road. . . The rest of the way may not be much better. . .
Another day and night passed. . . It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that we got close to the Black Cliff checkpoint. . .
"We are almost there...be careful, everyone..." Captain Lancer said. .
At the same time, he also took out his fire dragon sword from its scabbard and took it in his hand. .
Els also released Kamitachi. . At this time, the little guy was looking around cautiously on her shoulder. . She also took out her bow and arrows. . And unbuttoned his outer coat. . The flying knife on her waist was exposed. .
The white-armored knights behind also showed their weapons and got ready. . .
In front of you are endless mountains. . . There is a small road ahead. . It seems that the two carriages can barely travel side by side. .

Captain Lancer pointed to the path in front of him and said: "This path is the only way in and out of the mountains here... The other road closest to it... It takes at least a day to walk... So the Holy Light Empire is here. A checkpoint was built... It's the Black Cliff Checkpoint... It's easy to defend but hard to attack... And according to the unique terrain, one man can guard the gate and no one can open it... And this checkpoint is on the front, that is, on the side facing the outside. It's impossible to go up... You can only go up to the middle of the mountain at most... There is a road behind here... You can go up... Some supplies and baggage are usually transported up from here... They should know... Let's go there quickly. .”
Captain Lancer led the way. . The others followed right behind. . .
Wait until we reach the foot of the mountain. . Everyone was shocked. . .
I saw the corpses of the undead troops below. . . At the same time, a lot of blood was found on the ground. . .
The undead don't bleed. . So these bloodstains. . They should all be those presidents and vice-presidents. . .
Captain Lancer took the lead in dismounting and said: "Let's go up the rugged mountain road... There are 20 of you... Stay here and watch the horses... The rest of you will follow me up the mountain."
After saying that, 20 knights in white armor stayed. . .
The remaining people followed Captain Lancer up the mountain. .
Along the way. . They are all the corpses of the undead troops. . . There are many undead warriors and undead warriors. . There are also undead archers. .
It looks like they should be following this path. . Hit it up. . Maybe the undead tribe had already occupied this place at that time. . . After all, they serve as a decapitation team. . Just eliminate those undead commanders and undead strong men. . It was not possible to kill all the undead troops they said they were leading. .
On this mountainside. . There are several brick buildings. . . There are also some cars nearby. .
Captain Lancer saw these brick buildings and said: "We are already halfway up the mountain... This is the warehouse used by Blackcliff Post to store things..."
But now this warehouse. . The door is open. . . Captain Lancer took a closer look. . There is almost nothing useful here. . .
Those vegetables have become moldy and spoiled. . . The remaining meat was already smelly. . There is not much left in this warehouse. . It looked like there had been no supplies for a long time. .
No wonder. . When they were invaded by the undead tribe before. . This place has been abandoned. . As they looked. . .
Suddenly there was a "rumbling" sound from the mountain. . .
Everyone quickly turned around to check. .
"Look out!" Els yelled
